Algerian football club Paradou AC (PAC) has moved into second place in the Ligue 1 Mobilis championship after a hard-fought win against NAHD at the Bologhine stadium. The match was part of the 22nd day of the championship and saw PAC take a crucial three points, bringing their total to 45 points. This result has allowed PAC to overtake JS Kabylie (JSK), who now drop to third place.
JSK's loss of second place puts pressure on the team to perform well in their remaining matches. They have four games left to play, including home matches against USM Alger and CA Batna, and away games against CS Constantine and NAHD. To stay in contention for the title or at least secure a second-place finish and qualify for the Champions League, JSK must win all their remaining matches.
However, JSK's fate is not entirely in their own hands, as they must also keep an eye on the results of PAC and USM Alger in their upcoming matches. The team's coach, Dumas, is aware of the challenges ahead and has emphasized the importance of securing a win against CS Constantine on May 11. A draw or loss in this match could severely dent JSK's title hopes.
In preparation for the crucial match against CS Constantine, JSK played a friendly match against their reserve team yesterday, winning 3-2. The match allowed Dumas to rotate his squad and assess the performance of his players. The goals were scored by Dahlal, Hamroun, and Kabari, while Houari and Daibèche scored for the reserve team.
The friendly match was part of JSK's training plan during the championship break. Dumas used the opportunity to evaluate his team's performance and identify areas for improvement. The coach was pleased with the team's display, but acknowledged that there is still work to be done to achieve their objectives.
JSK will have a day off today before resuming training tomorrow at 11 am at the 1st November stadium. The team is expected to play another friendly match on Thursday or Friday against an opponent to be determined. The coaching staff aims to ensure the team is well-prepared for the critical match against CS Constantine.
The upcoming match against CS Constantine is seen as a decisive encounter for JSK's season. A win would keep their title hopes alive, while a loss or draw could eliminate them from contention. The team's supporters are rallying behind them, eager to see JSK achieve their goal of qualifying for the African Champions League.
